The concept of experience in anthropological research

Posted: August 31st, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Ideas & points of view | No Comments »

Interesting definition about the concept of experience in the anthropological research from the the late period of Cultural Studies: “I nuovi orientamenti definiscono la propria ricerca come una pratica di interpretazione di azioni di altri che l’osservatore stesso delimita permettendone la testualizzazione. L’intervento dell’osservatore è in primo piano e ritorna il concetto di esperienza come esperienza dell’osservatore nella sua relazione attiva con l’osservatore e dela responsabilità che si assume nella costruzione della realtà che osserva.” (Grandi, 1992: 138).

Philippe Stark, interviewed by Wired: “The best ecological strategy is to make products of a very high creative quality, so you can keep them for three generations.  I prefer to make a very good chair in the best polycarbonate than make any shit in wood that will be in the trash one year later.”
